Dramatic landscape in a remote corner of the world

The remote snow capped peaks of Uvs province are the setting for a truly wild and adventurous trek in Western Mongolia, where you will be delighted by the unspoiled beauty of this vast and varied country.

There's no place like Mongolia for magnificent trekking adventures

The views that you may see whilst trekking in Mongolia are beautiful, unusual and probably enjoyed by few other people. We hike in remote parts of the country rarly visited by foreign tourists.

Discover a different world - the natural beauty of Mongolia

High up in the mountains of the Uvs region of Mongolia, lie beautiful freshwater lakes, ancient glaciers and rare plants. Even the local people do not travel here often - only occasionaly in the summer months when moving their location.

Experience traditional Mongolian hospitality

All our guided tours will take you to some of the most remote parts of Mongolia and will give you opportunities to meet the local people and to experience their fascinating nomadic lifestyle.

Hiking adventures in unspoiled countryside

The Altai mountains of Western Mongolia are an excellent place for a hiking adventure tour because the scenery is amazing and the mountains beautiful. We use camels as pack animals to carry the luggage and equipment.

Along the way we will be staying at traditional ger camps from where you can do some hiking and exploring on your own, or simply relax in the dramatic surroundings. The trip is suitable for people of any ability.

Gobi Desert This is an overland journey starting from Ulaanbaatar, through Middle Gobi and south to the Gobi Desert near the border with Inner Mongolia in China. We cover a distance of 1700 kilometers in 8 days by jeep, but allow time each day for some gentle hiking in some of the most spectacular places, including the Gurvansaikhan mountains.

Naadam Festival This trip is a chance to enjoy some of the best bits of Mongolian culture and scenery.
